This is going to be a rather long post....but I needed to get the memories posted!
Amidst an emergency room visit and sickness, our Spring Break Vacation was actually a time of relaxation and peace. I really enjoyed the time of leisure. I mostly stayed away from the computer. We watched movies, we played the Wii, we did puzzles, I made meals for the family, and we just spent quality time together. It's just nice to get away from normal life from time to time.
It all kind of started on Wednesday, April 4th when the kids and I used different flavors of Kool-Aid to dye our Easter Eggs. It was so fun and I can't wait to try new flavors out next year. Before we dyed the eggs, the kids used crayons to draw designs on the eggs. We found out that the blue Kool-aid turned out the best!

I'm so excited about my new Wii Fit! I can tell its going to be so great for me. This week will be full of playing on the Wii for sure!

It's actually been so fun to find such great toys scattered around the house lately! The kids have really been having so much fun and its been a really great season!

More beautiful snow! It's been nice to not have to go anywhere and just stay inside, drinking hot chocolate and being with my family.

On Christmas Eve, Joey made a huge list of things to do during this Christmas break with the kids. We have just about got through everything and the kids have loved having the list right on Joey's dry erase board. They each have ... [Read More]

Joey came home in the middle of the day with an amazing surprise! He received one of his company's employee awards this year! And what did he receive - AN IPAD! And not just any iPad - the best one that they have out right now. WOW! He was so excited and I'm just so proud of him. He totally deserves it. It is so fun to see him enjoying it!

It snowed again - and it was the best snowman-making snow - so of course we had to get out in it today! It's fun having the kids home during the day. We made our Frosty and made snow angels and had a snowball fight and just had so much fun. Unfortunately, it got warmer later in the day, and some of the snow melted away, along with our Frosty. I was so glad we didn't delay in getting out there ... [Read More]

This morning, JJ and Beth took their stuffed tigers (Con and Sasha) and put them in Joey's backpack so they could "help" Dad at work. It was pretty adorable to see their heads sticking out of the backpack as Joey headed out the door! Unfortunately, Joey ended up being really late coming home tonight and Beth really wanted Sasha back to sleep with her. But I finally got her to go to sleep and when Joey came home he tucked Sasha in beside Beth. She was very happy in the morning!

We finally got JJ in for his school haircut today! We decided to just buzz it off so that it would last longer. He looks great! We also finished our school shopping today so we're all set for next week!

We surprised the kids ... [Read More]

We did some deep cleaning of the house today. It was such good weather - it almost felt like Spring. It really felt great and after being sick all last week, it felt good to get the house all clean and sterilized and aired out.

Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen and Uncle Lane and Uncle Clint arrived today to spend a couple of days. It was great to get to visit with them. We got some KFC take-out, played some Wii and just visited.
Wednesday, February 17, 2010
A busy day today. Grandpa and Grandma and Lane went to to Salt Lake City to do some shopping, take care of some business, and a special banquet for Lane. Clint got to hang-out with us all day. We took Beth to school and Clint got to play some more Wii. We then picked up JJ and Beth ... [Read More]

Joey finally broke his record in one of the Tennis Training Games! He was so happy! (And on Sunday he actually broke it again - so the above photo is of his latest score!)
I was so excited today - because I FINALLY got my computer back. It has seriously been such a frustration and causing me so much stress to not have it. This week I'm going to have to spend most of my time getting caught up and back on track with my design stuff! So happy to have my computer back - I really don't survive very well without it!

Beth and I did some grocery shopping today and came home with some special treats. JJ and Beth got some valentine cookies, fruit snacks, and applesauce when JJ got home from school. Happy Groundhog Day!

Joey is going to have to work late tomorrow, so we decided to celebrate JJ's birthday tonight. Joey came home early and we surprised JJ by taking our family to Chuck E Cheese. JJ was so excited to be able to have his favorite food - pizza - and play games! We had a great time together as a family. We came home and JJ got to open his presents - some new scriptures with his name on them, some Transformer toys, and a Spiderman watch.

Happy Birthday to JJ! I can't believe he is already 8 years old. I made some brownies and he was so excited to take them to share with his class today at school. He came home very happy. While he was at school, Beth and I made his cake and he loved it! Tonight he got to blow his candles out and we ... [Read More]

I feel so lost without my computer! I've spent these 2 days on Joey's computer playing games on Facebook! I just can't seem to be motivated to do anything else!
Wednesday, January 13, 2010
I finally pulled myself away from Facebook and worked on cleaning the house. Grandpa and Grandma Sorensen are coming this weekend so we decided to get the air mattress out and get everything set up. Beth loved playing around me as I cleaned up.

We got to babysit Mallory today and Beth loved being able to feed her. It was so fun to have a baby in the house!
Friday, January 15, 2010
So I finally got my computer back and started getting things caught up - and then it suddenly wouldn't turn on. I had ... [Read More]

Time to get back to reality. The kids went back to school today and then we started doing cleaning/organizing of their rooms. We cleared out some shelves and spots for their new toys!

My computer has been really sluggish lately - so I wiped the hard drive clean and started reinstalling everything and backing everything up. I almost had it ready when my internal hard drive completely died on me. So we took it to Simply Mac to have a new hard drive installed. The good news is that my original 250gb hd is going to be replaced with a internal 500gb hard drive - so I'm going to have space! It will be great. My great hubby also purchased me a 1TB Time Capsule - so I will have a great backup system now when I get my computer ... [Read More]

Beth has really been enjoying her new dress-up dresses and its the first thing she does when she wakes up in the morning. Right now her favorite is her snow white dress. She discovered that if she stands by the heater her dress flares up and she gets the whole big dress effect - so much fun!
Tuesday, December 29, 2009
We got a light snow fall today and it was just nice to sit inside watching movies, reading and playing on the computer and Wii. The kids are still enjoying all their new toys and we even had a nap!
Wednesday, December 30, 2009
Today was a fun day. We woke up to a lot more snow and we just had to go play in it. The kids got to wear their new coats and boots and we went into our little yard and built our "Frosty", threw a few snow balls, ... [Read More]
